Carleton Place 200th Anniversary

2019 is going to be an exciting year in Carleton Place as we celebrate 200 years as a Community! Throughout the year there will be many small and large celebratory events, and many ways for your business and/or organization to get involved!
As we continue to develop our celebration plans, we invite anyone who is interested in being a part of the festivities (in both big and small ways) to please contact: Jessica Hansen, Community Programmer at (613)257-1704 or jhansen@carletonplace.ca

Logo Contest

As Carleton Place prepares to celebrate 200 years as a community in 2019, residents are invited to submit their entries for the Carleton Place 200th Anniversary Logo Contest. This logo will be utilized on all promotional materials, signage, banners, etc. pertaining to the 200th Celebrations.

The logo contest officially opens on October 13, 2017 and residents must submit their completed entries by December 15, 2017. Entries may be hand sketched or computer generated, and incorporating components of previous logos/stag is encouraged but not required. In order to pay tribute to the celebration, logo designs should include the wording “Carleton Place” and/or “200th” or “200th Anniversary.”

“Having a contest to allow residents to submit their own logo designs is just one way that we are involving the community in every aspect of our celebrations,” says 200th Committee Member, Joanne Henderson. “We want to ensure this is not only a celebration for our residents, but also includes the talented efforts of our residents as much as possible.”

The top ten logo designs will be featured in the Metroland Newspaper with an opportunity for residents to vote for their favourite logo. The Carleton Place 200th Committee, along with the Citizen of the year will choose the final winning logo from the top three entries. The winning logo will be announced in April, 2018.
